New Environmental Threats This visible image of the Gulf oil slick was taken on May 9, 2010, at 19: 05 UTC (3: 05 p. m. EDT) from MODIS aboard NASA's Aqua satellite. Crude oil brings volatile organic compounds into the air which can react with nitrogen oxides to produce ozone.

Health & Air Quality Objectives: • NASA’s Health & Air Quality Applications Area supports the use of Earth observations in air quality management and public health, particularly regarding infectious disease and environmental health issues. • The area promotes uses of Earth observing data and models regarding implementation of air quality standards, policy, and regulations for economic and human welfare. • The area addresses issues of toxic and pathogenic exposure and health-related hazards and their effects for risk characterization and mitigation. • The Health & Air Quality Applications Area also addresses effects of climate change on public health and air quality to support managers and policy makers in their planning and preparations.
